Cool - but for perfectionists - the corners are lost with this technique. Wouldn't bother me ! Especially for baby quilts.

Yes, It's quick and easy and you do lose the points but great for charity quilts. The edges of the squares are also on the bias so need to be handled carefully and you may need to square them up a little. Not for perfectionists!

Here are a couple I've made.
